Abstract: The invention relates to a chip card and a method for producing a chip card with a card body for accommodating a transponder semiconductor component, wherein said component interacts with an inductive signal transmitting device arranged in the form of an antenna coil in said chip card. The semiconductor components used are sub-assemblies that can be separated from each other before they are mounted on the card carrier, thinned down to form a composite disc-like structure, and provided with a lead frame on their active sides. Said lead frame comprises two large-surface contacts for connection to the wired or laminated, stamped antenna coils.

Abstract: A carton (10, 210) having a primary elevated bottom portion (20, 220) extending along the length of an exposed raw paperboard edge (40, 240) to protect the carton (10, 210) and to prevent moisture absorption. The carton (10, 210) may also have a secondary elevated bottom portion (100, 300) substantially within the primary elevated portion (20, 220) and have an elevation greater than the primary elevated bottom portion (20, 220). Additional elevated portions (20a, 220a) are provided for additional raw paperboard edges (40b, 240b) on the bottom of the carton (10, 210). The present invention alleviates the problem of cartons (10, 210) having soggy bottoms since the point of absorption, the raw paperboard edge (40, 240), is elevated above the moisture which may be present during distribution from the packaging machine to the retailer. The elevated bottom portion (20, 220) is actually inverted into the carton (10, 210) with planar portions (60, 260 and 62, 262) resting on the surface to support the carton (10, 210).

Abstract: Each sheet (28) of stack of media (29) is aligned with a fixed alignment surface (48) prior to being fed towards a process station of a printer by a single pick roll (47). During the first portion of its cycle of operation, the sheet advancing force of the pick roll, which is offset from the axis or centerline of the sheet, exerts a torque on at least the uppermost sheet of the stack to have one of its sides engage the alignment surface (48) if it is skewed. When the one side of the sheet is not engaging the alignment surface when the pick roll is initially energized, the uppermost sheet's leading edge engages a resilient projection (43) of an insert of a rib (32), which is offset from the axis of the sheet but farther from the alignment surface than the pick roll. The skewed sheet pivots about the projection (43), which is formed of a high coefficient of friction material, extending beyond the surface of the rib (32). During the remainder of its energization, the pick roll (47) advances the sheet towards the process station of the printer.

Abstract: The invention relates to a support and/or drainage plate made of a foil-like plastic material, for use with a plate-lined floor structure or a wall so as to create a space between the ground and the surface lining to be applied onto the foil-like plate. The structure of the plate is such that cavities are created by means of, on the one side, projections extending substantially in one direction and, on the other side, raised areas at the same level between which chambers are embodied for receiving a hardening contact medium, such as mortar or adhesive, which forms a contact layer with the surface lining to be applied. According to the invention the structure consists of projections (N1, N2) or (S1, S2) which extend in at least two directions and intersect. The resulting chambers (M1) are delimited in their circumference by the projections (S1, S2), which are open towards the other side of the plate.

Abstract: A nonwoven cellulose fabric is manufactured by extruding a solution of cellulose through at least one spinning jet to form fibres, subjecting the fibres to a high velocity gas flow, and passing the fibres through a vapour mist which at least partially coagulates the fibres prior to collection as a fabric web. The vapour mist may be a low alkyl alcohol or water, and is preferably formed by an atomiser nozzle located below the spinning jet(s). The gas flow is preferably compressed air which is directed onto the fibres at an angle of 30 to the axis of the extrudate fibres. The cellulose solution preferably contains 4-22%, and most preferably 10-15%, by weight cellulose, using an amine oxide as solvent. The fibre web may be collected on a dry surface with the subsequent treatment of the web with a coagulant, or it may alternatively be collected onto a surface wetted with coagulant. The fibre web is preferably collected on a compliant surface, which may be provided by a 2mm thick foam layer.

Abstract: An apparatus and method are described for combining optical amplification and dispersion compensation in a Raman amplifier. A Dispersion-Managing Raman Amplifier (DMRA) combines Raman amplification with dispersion compensation by selecting the length and dispersion of the gain fiber to balance the dispersion of the link. This gain fiber is also single-mode at the signal and pump wavelengths. The pumping level is adjusted to balance the losses from the gain fiber and transmission link, while the pumping configuration is selected to remain within the 3 dB loss length for the pumping light. When the amplifier is split into two segments, the two segments may be joined by an isolator, a gain equalization element, and/or an optical add/drop multiplexer. For WDM transmission systems based on dispersion-shifted fiber (DSF), operation in the "violet band" between 1430-1530 nm is based on Raman amplification. By using a DMRA, a dispersion and nonlinearity managed system can be implemented. In particular, 4WM does not phase match in such a system, and modulation instability is absent in the transmission link. Furthermore, gain equalization can be added to the DMRA by cascading one or two Mach-Zehnder frequency filters. The invention also includes a method for symmetrically adding channels below and above the C-band, the gain tilt within the C-band can be minimized. Therefore, a roughly equal number of channels should be placed in the short-wavelength S-band and the long-wavelength L-band to minimize the Raman energy exchange in the C-band. Also, whereas C- and L-bands can be amplified using erbium-doped fiber amplifiers, the S-band can use either discrete or distributed Raman amplifiers. To minimize the interaction between pumps for different bands, alternate band pumps can be spatially dispersed and/or cross-polarized. The distributed Raman amplification can be achieved by pumping the transmission line with discrete laser diodes or by a Raman oscillator.
